  BidMachine's published test surface. There is no sandbox for the Placement Management or
  Reporting REST APIs — they run against the production account with dashboard credentials. The
  documented testing environment is for the OpenRTB auction integration: a test auction endpoint
  and a recommended test bid floor. The dashboard's Advanced Reporting also exposes a "Test Mode"
  dimension on the Ad Request Report (https://developers.bidmachine.io/dashboard/advanced-reporting),
  which is how test traffic is separated in reporting. Values below are verbatim from the docs.

    notes: Placement Management and Reporting APIs have no test mode; credentials are the dashboard login/password.

    notes: >-
      "Use the following testing endpoint for bid requests" — the host is appodealx.com, the legacy AppodealX
      exchange brand BidMachine grew out of (BidMachine's own DSP DPA is titled "DPA ... AppodealX v.1.5"),
      named by BidMachine's own docs. "Fill rate may not reach 100% in the testing environment."
